I find pilgrimage to be a fascinating concept. It is so widely practiced among so many faiths, religions and cultures and has been for so long. In the Introduction to Turner and Turner's book, Image and Pilgrimage in Christian Culture, they bring up the point that no one really knows the true origin of pilgrimage. Where did it really begin? They say some pilgrimages start and are based off of other religions but then where did those other religions start there tradition of pilgrimage? I guess it is just one of those things that has to be accepted as having always been around and I dont the origin is all that important to those who take pilgrimages anyway.
